“Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy…” – The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Universe

I am a writer (and probably one day, author) far out on a sunny end of the southeastern part of Asia, and from what we are supposed to believe, an increasingly fashionable end at that, with new buildings! developments! and a cosmopolitan and metropolitan and multicultural society. In short, Singapore.

As for myself, in a few quick points:

A writer, mostly, when I’m not busy or distracted.

Fairly young.

Conscript.

Plays the electric bass (not very well, yet)

Armchair human scientist, offhand commentator and people-watcher. Frequents the 100s, 300s and 800s in the library.

Has to read more fiction to balance out the above.

Nothing like this intro in real life.

As for this blog, it’s largely a ramshackle collection of thoughts, notes, events and other things. Usually, I’ll blog about:

Writing, literature

Peace and of a better world, and conversely, of human failures

People

Life

And the things I come across.

I can also be found at Twitter @jaraix, at jaraix[dot]blog[at]gmail[dot]com, or at Librarything with a bunch of books.

That’s all for now, and hello, where ever you are. It can’t be more than a planet away.
